Category Thermovormen Project Omshrijving A doubly curved form was required for a motor boat windscreen. We used our infrared heating panel to bring the 6mm perspex sheet to temperature and formed the panel. The image shows the panel on the mould after cooling and the laser-projected shape of the final product. [...]

Curve Works demonstrated that making composite panels on reconfigurable tooling is technically feasible. Curve Works manufactured in February GFRP sample panels at ADAPA. The experience was what we hoped for and we have showcased that manufacturing curved composite panels can be done fast & efficiently. We have demonstrated this for flat laminates, stiffened panels & sandwich [...]
